Bridging GCSE and A level maths: student book

Ensure students are fully prepared for A Level maths with practice in essential and tricky topics such as algebra. Revisit areas that may not have been studied recently due to modular courses to fill gaps in knowledge and make links.

Prepare students for some of the skills required at A Level with a focus on applications of mathematics. Written by an experienced A Level author who is a practising A Level teacher, Collins 'Bridging GCSE and A Level mathematics' is an ideal resource to be used in the classroom or for independent study.

Similar in structure to Collins 'Maths revision guides', the 'Bridging GCSE and A Level maths: student book' is split into an explanation section and a practice section. Identify and understand the transition from GCSE to AS Level maths with 'what you should already know' objectives and 'what you will learn' objectives at the start of each topic. 

Students can get a head start on their AS Level maths with introductions to key Core 1 maths topics for all exam boards (AQA, OCR and Edexcel). They can boost their understanding with worked examples which include extra guidance in the form of 'handy hint', 'checkpoint', 'AS alert!' and 'common error' boxes. 

Students can reinforce and build on their maths to fully prepare them for AS Level with worked examples and plenty of practice questions from B-A* at GCSE level extending to AS Level. 

Student think and draw on different areas of maths with investigations at the end of some topics and can check their progress with answers to Maths practice questions at the back of the book. They can test their understanding of the maths they have covered with the tear-out practice exam paper.
